Ingredients:
- 1 c coconut water (no sugar added) or liquid or choice

Recipe Swaps:
Liquid options: almond milk, coconut milk, hemp milk, or full fat pasture-raised dairy milk.
Nut butter: feel free to swap this out for any nut or nut-free butter of your choice or even avocado
Greens: Kale is another great choice too but you want to make sure you have a high speed blender. Also note that the taste will be stronger than spinach.
Fruit: any berries will work – fresh or frozen.
*Protein powder options: in place of collagen, do a full scoop of the vanilla protein powder or 20-30g of your favorite protein powder.
